Trek Through Truth

Our radical Savior heals again on the Sabbath and begins to preach in parables for an unexpected reason.  Luke 13:10-17, 8:4-10, 11-15; Matthew 13:1-17, 18-23; Mark 4:1-12, 13-20; Proverbs 25:2; Psalm 111:10, 32:9, 119:130; Job 32:7

In today's study, Jesus emphasizes the need to discern the times, to watch, and to be bearing fruit for His Kingdom until He comes again.  Luke 12:13-21, 22-34, 35-48, 49-56; 13:1-9

Jesus hits the hypocrisy of the Pharisees head on and warns His disciples to stay away from such people.  Matthew 12:31-32, 38-42, 43-45, 46-50; Mark 3: 28-30,31-35; Luke 11:29-32, 24-26, 33-54; 8:19-21; 12:1-7

Jesus continues to preach and heal but is heckled more and more by the Pharisees.  Even poor imprisoned John the Baptist has a few doubts.  Matthew 11:2-19; 12:22-30; Luke 7:11-35, 36-50; 8:1-3; 11:14-23; Mark 3:20-27; Isaiah 35:4-7

Jesus gives us some great advice about avoiding false teachers and a Roman Centurion stands out as a beacon of faith.  Matthew 7:13-23,24-27,28-29, Luke 6:43-45,46-49; Matthew 8:5-13; Luke 7:1-10, 11-17

Today, the Lord teaches us a lot about how to pray and live in a way that frees us from slavery and anxiety.  Matthew 6:5-15, 16-23, 24-34; Matthew 7:1-5, 6-12; Luke 6:37-42

Jesus gives some good information on His expectations of us if we are part of His Kingdom.  Luke 6:24-26, 27-36; Matthew 5:13-16, 17-26, 27-37, 38-48; Matthew 6:1-4

Jesus continues His ministry of miracles which greatly provokes the religious leaders.  He completes His disciple team of 12 and teaches the Beatitudes.  Matthew 12:9-21; Mark 3:1-19; Luke 6:6-23; Matthew 5:1-11

Today, Jesus heals a lame man at the pool of Bethesda and it begins the exposure of the Pharisees' legalistic hearts.  John 5:1-15,16-29,30-47; Matt 12:1-6; Luke 6:1-5; Mark 2:23-28; Isaiah 1:11-17

Jesus expresses His will about healing and irritates the Pharisees with His next choice of disciple among other things.  Mark 1:35-38, 40-45, 2:1-12,13-22, 9:9-17; Luke 4:42-44, 5:12-16,17-26, 27-38; Matthew 4:23-25, 8:1-4, 9:1-8
